I had a Garmin nuvi 350 years back and I was always impressed with their line of GPS devices. I thought they were made of the highest quality and accuracy was 99%. My one kernel of advice, buy the Garmin Portable Friction Mount as the suction cup will not hold it at all and the friction mount is really durable.

Stuff like the Magellan "premium car kit" is perfect for use with an iPhone or iPod touch - it amplifies your phones GPS signal (they work in conjunction with each other), so it increases your accuracy tremendously over the built-in GPS on phones and tablets.

But at the price point, it's more worth it to grab a dedicated GPS. Prices are falling steadily, so you can get a good unit for $60-$100. And you don't have to move everything around every time you get in the car.

and you are so right...

I do not want to be fuking around setting the GPS everytime I get into the car.
I want it to be there.. ready to work for me, not the other way around.

The one thing I love about Sprint is its navigation. Sprint has this program they install on their smartphones called sprint navigation/telenav and it is basically a GPS system on your phone. Even if you go the wrong way it will recalculate your route too.

And it goes everywhere you go, even if your in a different car you can always bust out your phone.

I would definitely go with garmin. Not many know that you can actually create a route on google maps and then download it on your unit. TomTom and Garmin are the only two that are worthy. I would choose garmin any time of day!
